Songs for GA #2 – ‘Revive the flame’

So, Ray Coster, the incoming moderator (he’s like a Pope that we can exchange after two years) has chosen for his theme, ‘Reviving the flame: Living in the power of His presence, and the presence of His power.’

Ray’s hope is that Christians can move beyond thinking of themselves as ‘sinners’ and start to understand that in Christ, we are ‘saints’ – God’s children, God’s beloved – whichever way you spin it, it’s Good News!

So I wrote this song called, ‘Revive the flame’ to give us a way of articulating this reality/hope. I tried to be realistic about the ‘now and not yet-ness’ of the world we live in, and also to focus on the margins – where God seems to like doing the bulk of God’s work.
